court nominee pick for the vacancy left open by ruth bader ginsburg. here at the leading contenders, you can see them pictured on your screen. the top one everyone is talking about is amy coney barrett, close to antonin scalia, everyone talks about her catholic faith. barbara lower everyone is talking about, how important florida is. allison young, 30 years old, justice clarence thomas. todd: what stands out to me about amy coney barrett, democrats reconcile attacking her catholicism and like they did during what you are seeing on your screen especially right now with joe biden running for president joe biden is a catholic and joe biden needs the catholic vote especially in swing states like pennsylvania and florida to win the presidency. is that a good look for democrats, the party of joe

biden to attack her and to attack barbara logo a who is catholic, that will be interesting to see what happens. jillian: senator mitch mcconnell was senate majority leader was on last night with shannon bream and had a lot to say about this. >> there have been 15 occasions where a president has nominated during an election year someone to the supreme court. in eight of those 15 occasions the president's party was the party of the senate, twee 7 out of eight times they were confirmed. the election is no reason to dodge our responsibility and not go forward. this is entirely consistent with the history of handling supreme court vacancies in the middle of presidential elections. todd: it is their job to fast

track it if you are a republican like mitch mcconnell and you have to wonder what are democrats going to do in response, you think it is going to be attack attack attack because as josh holly put it this thing could be wrapped up by halloween. >> we could go even faster than halloween and that includes a full set of public hearings as well as a full 30 hours of debate on the senate floor which is what senate rules call for in the case of the supreme court nominee. we could do all that and be ready to vote before the election. jillian: time will tell but the first step, waiting to find out who the nominee is going to be, the president will be announcing that tomorrow at 5:00 pm so stay tuned for all the information and we will certainly have it. >> reporter: he loves working weekendss. jillian: other news, federal investigation is underway after

>> protesters chanting for justice. todd: the grand jury decision in the breonna taylor case, ted williams, we are at point.

the attorney, the attorney general investigation was a cover-up. what do you make of that language? >> when i hear the word cover-up it is unfair to the attorney general and the investigations took place. the investigation happened over 194 days ago. they did a thorough investigation. they came back with a charge against one of the officers who was charged with wanton endangerment. i think that charge is really unfair. he was coming to the aid of fellow officers, one who had been shot in the leg. it remains to be seen where we are going with this. jillian: let's just say for

arguments sake as much grand jury information as possible that could be released were to be released, do you think that would be enough to stop the rioting and looting and violence we are seeing on the streets or regardless of the information put out and how much information, cases in particular, not even this one in particular are we had a point, a knee-jerk reaction right now. >> the knee-jerk reaction, don't care how much information is provided, grand jury testimony shouldn't be provided, that would not stop what is going on. the attorney general, daniel cameron announced the charge,

$12 million to the family, why are demonstrations continuing, people have their own agenda. todd: you are a former homicide detective. there is a video, louisville protesters in louisville grabbing signs, shields and other supplies from a u-haul truck, 151 people arrested in louisville protests over the last two days. we don't know if i'll of them were outside agitators if you will but a number of them probably were. you have to assume the numbers on that. how can law enforcement stop the organized violent mob so the voice of the peaceful protester can be heard? >> that is the $64 billion question. it is impossible. i covered the goings-on in

ferguson, missouri. what i found is individuals who come from outside the community to to create havoc inside the community. law enforcement, all they can do is have good intelligent units deployed and get as much information as they can. it is unfortunate, it is not going to stop. it is like pouring coal onto the plow. jillian: we heard reports of people's experiences of organization at different cities across the country but got video, all those premade signs and masks out of there, the first of the kind we have seen of that magnitude. definitely alarming, we appreciate it. todd: it is 19 after the hour, donald trump doubling down in his warning over mail in voting, his concerns about an honest election.

onto their jobs by fingertips and your come these punks whose take your drink and break a glass and take a skateboard and put on your table and people are so repulsed by these punks that they will be driven to donald trump. >> reporter: this is an increasingly common situation because a lot of people are eating outside because of the pandemic, makes them more visible. in august the mayor of washington dc condemned this behavior after it happened. she suggests, she encouraged diners to call the police if this happens to them. jillian: something, i don't know the word for it, it is a campaign ad but is really not. it is like a movie. >> your mission should you choose to accept it will be to save texas.

idea of peaceful transfer of power is no surprise. >> total authoritarian. he wants autocracy. it is not who we are. jillian: the resolution thursday reassuring support for a peaceful transition of power is -- if one were to happen. >> we had an orderly transfer of power every four years since washington was selected for a second term in 1792. that will happen again to the winner of the november 3rd election of january 20th. 2021. >> reporter: a new fox news poll shows if voters were to choose right now they would pick biden over trump in the battleground states of nevada, ohio and pennsylvania and a fox news poll shows trump ahead of biden in all three of those states among

people who will be voting in person and those who choose to vote by mail. overwhelmingly chose biden over trump. donald trump laid out his healthcare plan in north carolina, one issue addressing preexisting conditions, the other dealing with congress addressing surprise medical, bernie sanders says the president is ready to undermine democracy. >> we must ensure in this unprecedented moment in american history that this is an election that is free and fair. this is not just an election between donald trump and joe biden. this is an election between donald trump and democracy. democracy must win. >> reporter: we are 39 days out from election day with the first debate set for next tuesday. jillian: thank you. todd: bernie sanders tears into

donald trump, kelsey, bernie wasn't done. take a listen. >> i am worried and have been worried, a president who will refuse to leave office if he loses. mounting a massive assault on so-called voter fraud. >> the sum total of bernie's remarks, what happened? >> the same line of attack we heard democrats for the past four years that donald trump is a unique danger to our democracy and that justified all the unrest across the country. he has been president for four years, the checks and balances have worked. there is no threat to our democracy. i would argue, the left would do, if they assumed power, get rid of the electoral college,

pack the courts. add dc and puerto rico statehood so that they have total control of the congress and abolish the filibuster. that is real attempt to control power in the united states. that is a dictatorship. that is a threat to democracy. todd: why do democrats consistently downplay the threat of voter fraud despite the overwhelming evidence we are seeing when it comes to the problems we are seeing with mail in voting, that is indisputable at this point, actual news stories about problems with mail in voting but voter fraud seems okay with many members of the democratic party. >> any reasonable american would be concerned. we are in such a unique

situation with a global pandemic, when we have mass mail in voting that opens the door for mail fraud, this is something americans of all political perspectives should be concerned about, donald trump is right to have accountability if we have more mail in voting, we ask democrats why this isn't a top concern for them. >> we are curious what will happen at 5:00 pm tomorrow, we don't know that person. nevertheless media can't stop them. take a listen. >> the guaranteed vote to overturn roe versus wade and the affordable care act, obamacare. >> there it is linked to a small

charismatic christian community called people of praise. the group may have inspired the novel and every award-winning drama the handmaid's tale but arthur margaret atwood says that is not accurate. jillian: the media picking apart amy amy coney barrett, the front-runner, why is her religion so threatening? >> this is anti-catholic bigotry on display. if amy coney barrett is the supreme court nominee her face should not play a central role the left is trying to make it. anything to attack her for, this is a woman, a wife, mom of 7, scholar and the judge. in normal times she is the ideal feminist portrayed in the ballot of being a mother and a

successful career woman as well but because there is not much else to attack her for we are seeing these lines of anti-catholic bigotry which is against the constitution. we do not have a religious test for any public servant in the country. todd: it goes against the democrat nominee for president, joe biden. we appreciate your time, thanks for your insight. as the media goes on evidence against amy coney barrett, the games democrats are playing with this nomination will backfire. >> you can't get people to vote for joe biden or stand in the way of this nomination so she is trying to change the subject and make it about obamacare, a supreme court that reshaped this about so much more, this is one of the enduring legacies of the trump administration, if

democrats continue with the slash and burn approach the voters will reject them, backfire as it did with brett kavanaugh. todd: the sister of amy coney barrett, what she says is one of her sister's most impressive qualities. jillian: a boots on the ground surge underway for a missing colorado mom, after -- her brother believes he was murdered in separate volunteers on a 6-day search operation in the mountainous area where she was last seen. police are yet to name suspects in her disappearance. florida prosecutors dropped prostitution charges against colonel robert kraft after craft lost the prosecution from using video that allegedly shows craft soliciting a woman at a spot last year. prosecutors say they dropped charges after seeing the video of the case. a manhunt underway after a suspect escaped in portland and ohio.
